The Recycled Materials Art category was created to promote recycling and reuse of materials in a creative and innovative way. This category aims inspire young minds to actively engage in learning more about recycling, responsible use of resources and sustainable living. The iWISE Olympiad Committee’s goal is to raise public awareness and support of educational programming focused on recycling, reducing and reusing of materials while building strong coalitions between sustainability and the arts.

– Cutting – many of the activities in this project involve using some sort of cutting instrument. Be careful with any sharp or pointed blade, and always be conscious of where you put it down after using it. You may need adult help when first using a craft knife.
– Paints and sprays – the gases that are released when using some paints, sealers and sprays can have harmful fumes that cause head-aches, nausea, throat and nose irritation. Ensure you have good ventilation when using these items.
– Glues – be careful using fast bonding glues like Superglue to avoid gluing your fingers together. Also ensure you have good ventilation while using stronger adhesives.
– Glass and metal – when working with glass, be careful as it can break. With metal, be careful of any sharp edges. Some can openers can sometimes leave a sharp edge.
– Wire – when working with wire, it is a good idea to always wear safety goggles or glasses, particularly when cutting wire. Do what you can to protect your eyes and vision from sharp flying objects.
– Appliances and power tools – in some instances, you may need a hot glue gun, an oven or a pressing iron. Use caution to keep yourself and others safe. If you are unsure how to use a piece of equipment, ask or have an adult help you.
